PRAYERS FOR PEACEMAKERS, 23 October 2014
Pray for the millions of people displaced
by violence in Syria, Iraq, and Kurdistan. In the last two weeks, heavy rains
and cold weather have made conditions in refugee and IDP camps much worse. As
winter approaches, pray also for local community members working to provide aid
to displaced people. As the crisis lengthens, pray also for the safe return of
all women, men, and children kidnapped by ISIS.

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ‘On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matt: 22:36-40 |
